Thanks to all who have entered!
DOH WIG!
I not knocking Pele and those aforementioned players but you tell me some Great defenders from Pele and Di Stefano time...I mean come on? Analyze the game on a whole. It faster, more physical, technical and tactical and guess what Ronaldo conquered all that. If anything can be said about Pele and dem fellas is that they helped shape the game and they deserve respect for that but in MY opinion Ronaldo is the best because he play in a harder era. Players like Pele would be almost normal now..Compare Ronaldo(Healthy) with any other forward in any aspect of striking...Finishing the best...Speed the best...Running off the ball the best...linking up with Midfielders the best...Dribbling at pace the best...Only heading he is not the bestonly de greats make it back ... Jordan, Ali, Diego, Lance armstrong,hasley crawford gene samuel, now who or what is he ?
Jai press brakes...Diego's comeback doesn't compare to the greatness of Ronaldo's comeback....Yuh forget that when Ronaldo played in WC 2002 (and top scored....scoring more goals than anyone had scored in a World Cup since 1974.... ahem ).... he was coming off 2 operations and and 2 and a half years....yes 2 and a half years of zero competitive football (unless you want to count 7 minutes of action where he re-injured himself)....
...You want to talk come backs? ....please. Ronaldo is the definition of comeback.
The best football player to have ever played the game- Ronaldo. The only out and out goal scorer with the individual brilliance of a creative player....
Ronaldo doh need to comeback again to be great.... Unless yuh memory real short and yuh prone to gettin' caught up in the "fat man" hype...the man is a legend as is.
Now I couldn't have said it any better ...I really couldnt
I can't believe that people could still fight down Ronaldo. The man is a legend...A healthy Ronaldo is the best forward ever. The funny thing is that even with all the operations and comebacks I still expect him to perform. I hope he can find somewhere to play his football up until he is ready to leave the game.
nobody eh fighting down Ronaldo but doh get carried away here ....go and look at some Pele videos then come back and repeat what you just write dey ! ..while you are at it try to get some George Best and di stefano and puskas tapes ...
dais ah sweeping statement you make dere ..I eh supportin you on dat !
only de greats make it back ... Jordan, Ali, Diego, Lance armstrong,hasley crawford gene samuel, now who or what is he ?

Frico,The answer to all your questions is : MONEY Jack Warner is a business man and what he cares about is making money...we usually 'benefit' from his money making ventures...Its messed up but its true..if Jack is not gaining financially we have nothing to get as a federation...The TTFF need some progressive brains that would enforce the right infrastructure to build good teams and not yes men who jump everytime Jack advise them.....and to answer the question of the intitial thread I would say Jack Warner bring World Class coaches to our senior team...thats it
I agree with about having more clout than anybody. That has been so for years. That is nothing new. But has it benefitted us? Why is our football so inconsistent. Why are our teams lacking proper skills. Why are hosting tournament if we don't have the money. Look, Jack is the superstar for football administartors. That is fine but when come to adminstrating our local football. IS TOTAL CRAP!!!!!
This is what we need....results such as these go a long way in boosting our confidence not only as Trinidadians and Tobagonians, but as Caribbean people in general. After another Caribbean 'robot' Usain Bolt destroyed the Olympics in track and field...we have yet again a positive performance where our 6th place team took out MLS 2nd place squad. Now, I have heard basically every excuse, every comment possible, however as a professional team in any sport, you just dont loose 4 nill unless you are totally outplayed. This and this alone was the case for the Revs in the 2 leg series, THEY WERE OUTPLAYED!! Whether it be injuries, fatigue, disinterest etc..etc...blah blah blah...let us be proud of this accomplishment...let us hold our heads high, for too long the world has taken us to lightly. All we ever needed was a confidence boost...and thats what joe public went into the game with...the confidence knowing that they was going to defeat the revs...I wish them all the best and will be following their progress....GREAT JOB!!!!Daz all I saying....Great Victory...6-1 on aggregate!!! good licks ...the better squad win
Deeks
I stand corrected now that my blood has cooled down from the win, its the excitment
from what i saw really NE didn't look like a side with energy, really tired, that being said i still didn't see any player who i wish to have on say my national side
its like no one from NE showed up for the game, clearly MLS could do with some talent,
I guess that is why becks is there just to add that little sparkle, cause as is apart from possible superior fitness, the league is somewhat dull, chivas tries to bring the mexican influence but more is needed to bring the US MLS to life maybe some saudi will buy a team and throw say like 1 billion behind players lol
U still think we do have local and regional talent that can box with the best of em in MLS any day
Are you serious? Trinidad and Tobago, the PFL and the players should in no way be modest about this victory. Joe Public is a Trinidadian team although it comprises of different nationalities. When Manchester and Chelsea reach Champions League Finals(stars(drogba and ronaldo) on both teams are NOT English) people talk about the strength of the EPL so why the hell people cant talk about the improving PFL. The core of the Joe Public team is Trinidadian. The service to Richardson was Trinidadian. All that aside Richardson is a boss player and the Guyanese should be dam proud...the man is a boss. Bake n Shark is one of the people I see does constantly be posting articles about US progresses in the game. Nothing wrong with that, USA has been improving and deserve respect in the Football world. However, he does never acknowledge that T&T have decent local players that could stand toe to toe with Americans given the right training and so on. Up to this day USA has never produced a World Class player. They have a very solid team of Good players but nobody is World Class. T&T do that in Latapy and Yorke.
Why do people need counselling?
It was a thorough victory (6-1 agg). What is wrong with enjoying that?
Secondly, after all the talk about who is or isn't on the national team, they still went and mash-up Cuba away. Still nobody wants to give credit. We will see some more against Guatemala and the US, but so far they have done well except for Bermuda.
Why do people not want to give the local players some credit? It is inherently difficult to get contracts abroad, especially being from a country that is not a powerhouse. Games like this actually make a big impact and help players get contracts. Ask Cornell Glenn.
All that's fine and good but JP isn't comprised of strictly local players... in fact the two players with arguably the greatest impact on the game are Trini and Brazilian. How then can this even possibly be used as any guage on the talents of the local players? I'm all for giving local players credit... but giving local players credit for THIS win (and last week's) is simply off mark.dat was a good game. richardson get on bad. dis game jus solidify d fact even more, that MLS shitty an d pro league improvin.
bless!
Let's not get carried away now... even in MLS right now NE is struggling. Fatigue and injuries are taking their toll regardless of who want to look at that as 'excuses' or not. JP was the better team in both legs... but it's silly to try and use this series as a bellwether on the comparative strengths of both leagues.
I always play better away from home.Well with fans like on this site and in Trinidad I dont blame him. It have men that does just bring down these guys every chance they get. Critizism is necessary but when men not addressing the issue that stagnating our football is not the players but rather the coaches. We as supporters have to understand that these fellas sacrifice alot to continue to play football when in Trinidad and Tobago there is little incentive to do so. For a big belly drunk,who either never reach far in football or never kick a lime in his life to come and fight down a man trying hard for his country and his entire league just downright unfair. If Manchester United or Brazilian National team training was available to local players believe me they would been most present BUT currently we have none of the sort at no level especially at youth the most fundamental stage. So far the coach have my support as well as the team....Hopefully they would grow stronger as they progress and peak at the right time....Go T&T
hmmm...this real hit meh. doh like to hear pros talk like that. i wonder what kind of psychological prep they get before these games. how many other players freeze up at home. this is WC qualifying..yuh home performances have to be spot on..so hopefully he get over it and produe de goods on home soil too.
Well done though..that was a big won on the road.
